May 2011

With the very welcome return of the "SPARKS" aka Mr Sharpe, CDK's progress to running order has somehow gone from a slow plod almost into a sprint as the box of bits has given up more items to be refitted.

While Andy busied himself with the continuation of our rewire, Richard and I cracked on with the preparation of the roof and nearside panels for painting - a job ,as ever, which will be done to the best standards possible before undercoat is applied - hopefully at the end of June!

Richard is also finally happy with his boot doors after many hours of careful preparation and as the image shows ....... Bloody perfect Mate!

Perfect alignment at last

Steve meanwhile sourced & purchased a head gasket set (see acknowledgements) ready for "Peter the Eater" to make a welcome return. He also restored the starter switch panel, indicator unit, fitted the 1st offside locker panel with gas struts & lock plates and also carried out a test fit of the cabside panels.
